• We have updated the rules to make 'multiboxing' (logging in multiple accounts simultaneously) against the rules. This is no longer allowed, so if you have been doing it please stop now!

&emsp;&emsp;1) open the settings.<br>
• Show damage numbers when watching other players doing combat.<br>
&emsp;&emsp;2) go the controls section and press 'open'.<br>
• Make 'use item' the default action on the reagent preparation station.
&emsp;&emsp;3) open the drop down next to 'do first action'.<br>
&emsp;&emsp;4) choose "left click".<br>
&emsp;This causes left clicking something in the 3d view to do the default action, and right clicking it still opens the full menu.

• You can now also rotate the camera by dragging with the middle mouse button.<br>
• You can now reassign what each mouse button does (in settings->controls).<br>
• The active foraging block album cards now list which profession equipment is required to forage them. I realize this still needs adding in more places too.<br>
• If you have (unwisely!) deleted your entire account, you can now choose to create a new account.<br>

• Make spear fishing rooms a lot less crowded, (max 10 players, instead of max 20 players).<br>

Early Access

Brighter Shores is currently in 'early access'. This means a few core features aren't ready yet, and there are probably still some bugs!

Please send any bug reports to [email protected]

There are some very important features we want to finish ASAP, and before we consider the game to no longer be in 'early access'. These include:
• Player vs player combat (PvP).
• Player to player trading.
• Combat improvements, including special attacks on epic weapons to make the different factions more distinct.
• Episode 5 - Stonemaw Hill.
• Leaderboards.
• Additional (higher level) quests.
• Party system.

There will NOT be a save reset at the end of early access.
